HASLAB Car Robots God Fire Convoy/RID Omega Prime announced for "Fall" 2025 Delivery

Deathsaurus was $368, probably anywhere from that to maybe $500 but that might be pusing it (who am i kidding i would probably spend that)

I was expecting ~$500, I'd go up to $550 I think because RID was the first TF show I saw and I loved that Prime.

And this is what's stupidest about the whole thing. You are exactly who Hasbro is aiming this at (and you are expected by them to replace me as a customer as I age out of buying G1 toys), and yet it is being made, deliberately for some unknown reason, unobtainable by the target market in Australia.

Just bizarre.

It's been obvious for a while that HasTak realises they need to get people who grew up with other series into collecting. The Beast Wars MPs were the tip of the iceberg in trying to expand out. I feel like they might have taken it too far now as they are trying to flog off Legacy Cyberverse figures and that generation is still largely not in the workforce to have disposable income.

For me personally RID is the most recent series I can see myself having an interest in collecting a large amount of new toys from it. Armada has a handful of designs I'm interested in. I hate Energon. I like Cybertron. But from Cybertron onwards, the only series I'm interested in collecting is Animated, but I'd rather see reissues of the original moulds that I missed out on, not new moulds. If I absolutely need to I'll pay the $749 because it's RID. But there's no chance I'd pay that sort of premium for something like a Cybertron Primus or an Animated Omega Supreme.

Out of curiosity, what kind of price would people be willing to pay for this? I'm not super-keen on it myself, but I'm sort of interested in what people's cut-off point is.

Im like you, not fussed at all but I thought maybe $500 tops.

I didnt go for the GI Joe Dragonfly Haslab one as I thought that was too high as well (I think that was $700+).

[Dimi194]

Yep exactly - hopefully Hasbro AU at least says something about it but I don't have my hopes up...

[Dimi194]

The Mexican price translates to ~$550 AUD, so the vibes in this thread that the price should be around that here in AU seem pretty spot on.

Been put up on TakaraTomy Mall for just under $500aud

Really hoping we hear something by the end of the week so i can decide on if i get it through an overseas friend or not

This is just insulting at this point. EB Games in New Zealand put their listing up for Omega Prime. It's $699 NZD.
